The Tankoma

Chingon el maxima! Los motores VQ son muy potentes!

 

Well, I finally finished all the switches installation as I wanted to:

• All overhead console switches are illuminated as stock interior lights (except locker and compressor that are the ones from ARB). The switches can dim. Already made all the wiring from the console to the engine bay.
• The switches for flood and spot lights only illuminate when turning them on.
• Most important thing, I wanted a 3 step switch so:
• I can turn all the accesories on anytime (without turning the switch to ACC)
• I can turn all the accesories on only when the truck is on
• I cannot turn on any of the accesories, avoiding Valet Parkings to play with the switches)

I don't have any pictures at the moment, but will upload them ASAP...

I really wanted that 3 step switch because its nice to turn on only whatever you need in the camp without leaving the truck on, and when you are DDing it you don't have to worry if you left a light on, or someone messing with all the switches...

And yeah, I just noticed all the pictures are gone... hahaha

 

Just wanted to drop a line and ask how everything is. Saw the storms heading in and hope that the mud slides aren't going to be bad. Keeping a good thought for you and yours.

 

Thanks mate! Well, not everything is ok... many natural disasters in so little time... I was in Mexico city while the hurracanes hit and was in Cancun with the earthquake...

The poorest states were the most damaged from the first earthquake and then the epicenter from the second was so close to Mexico City that many buildings fell down and many others cannot be used for security reasons...

After the earthquakes all the country united and started sending help to wherever it is needed... it will take time to have everything back to normal, but we'll keep helping!

 

Awesome to hear from you. It's always amazing how total strangers will roll up their sleeves and help each other in crisis. Still keeping a good thought for you and your family.

 

Ok, latest update!
I wanted a bed rack, so a friend of mine started a design so I could load tall stuff without having to remove the whole rack... also I wanted some bars so I can keep my stuff free of dust the whole time (without having to open the bed cover) and only have the cooler and toolbox outside...

The design was something like this:




And it came out like this:



I am pretty happy with the result, tomorrow I'll take other pictures!

 

Ese mi Chepo!
Rack Is sweet!
Looks very utilitarian

 

Thanks mate!! I like it a lot!!

 

Now... daytime pictures!

 

So awesome.

 

Thanks!

 

Got a DJI Mavic Pro for Christmas and decided to practice a little with some shots of the Taco...

What do you think?

I need to get my batteries charged and start flying again. Footage looks great, there is a mavic owners forum that you can join and members post tutorials on how to improve your shots. I’ve learned allot there and like TacomaWorld, I’ve found out about more stuff to spend money on too.

 

Thanks! I will look for that forum!!! I'm loving this drone so far! the only thing is that I need to stop spending money on the different hobbies!

 

Hahahaha, so many hobbies and interests keep me broke and humble. This year I plan to take Paramotoring lessons and buy my own equipment. This video inspires me so much as I’d love to able to fly to the top of a Mesa and have it all to myself and my friends.

 

Damn!!!! that looks awesome!!!!
Right now I need to focus more on the business so I can enjoy more free time in some years!

 

Saw the news flash about the earthquake this evening, hope all is well.

 

Thanks for your message! everything's fine! a lot of people was scared, but thanks God nothing happened!

 

Quedo perron el rack Chepo
Saludos!

 

My last trip!!!
